What's broken is that there are "sides" at all. The American people are being restricted from free thinking on individual issues because of party-based politics. This is intentional, to create "wedge" issues out of

To state "It's off limits to ask the people involved why they continue to put themselves in such a horrible situation" is unscientific. Nobody is blaming anyone by asking a question.

In my case, the lack of Dropbox on arm has greatly hindered my ability to use my spare phone as a Linux desktop. Any suggestions? I've heard about building a client from source, and there is a python dropbox client that kind of works b

I think you harmed your claim by elaborating. I have a tendency to do so as well. I often stop myself from replying to those who reply to me, in order to provide someone else a chance who agrees with my position to reinforce.

Was curious about one thing. On the Xinu website, under "Xinu in industry" in the 2000s, it says that the pinball game for Star Wars: The Phantom Menance uses Xinu. So I looked up that pinball game. On the wikipedia page for the g

What I'm getting at is, if not, then wouldn't it become just a thought experiment? Granted one conducted by very intelligent individuals.

With self driving cars somewhere in the forseeable future, I wonder if a system like seen in the movie "Daybreakers" is realistic. One where the windshields are blacked out, and video hud allows you to see outside. In that case th

I've seen comments similar to this one often enough that I need to ask: What is the use case for having that many tabs open, and how can you possibly consume that much information?

I'm a big fan of dogfooding. But given Amazon's ecommerce huge computing needs, maybe it would make sense to not burden the compute availability of your fledgling cloud offering with your ginormous system?
